Do those who use e-bay find that the prices are competitive with what you may find at a show or on other coin sights? I don't have many choices since I live in the bush and have to order things like coins (I pick up a stray silver dollar when someone spends it on something, but other than that).

I recommend, at least for valuable type coins, that you opt for slabbed coins rather than coins graded by the seller. The seller could be accurate, or not, but a slabbed coin is certified to be what it is graded at.

That's just my 2 cents... Wink

To be honest, most of my coins now come from ebay. I've also bid at Heritage Auctions,but I have not been successful.

Yes it is very hard for sellers nowadays, but there are still a few good ones about who have really good coins for you to buy.

Not that I can see. Very risky, buying sight unseen (this isn't like dealer to dealer grey sheet buying). Some tips:

1- Read the seller's feedback before you even think of throwing a bid

2- There is usually no such thing as an "unsearched" roll or bag

3- Buy the coin, not the slab

4- Graded coins should be in slabs from PGCS, NGC, ANACS, or ICG. Be wary of other grading service labels. Anybody can buy the empty slabs, print a label, and grade a coin. Research the bservice before you bid. There are a lot of "basement" slabbers out there

5- Bewary of Chinese counterfeits

Here is good how-tos right from eBay:
